Gouryella - Ligaya

The word Ligaya is Tagalog (language of the Philippines) word for "Happiness." There are several versions of this song, but this one captures the meaning the most.

This song is about the truth. The moment we live is where we can find happiness. Neither the past nor the future can give us happiness -- we must live it now.



Gouryella - Ligaya

This is the first day of my life
For once I'm sure
That this is where I long to be
No need to know
If there is something more than this
No need to go
Cause there is nothing more than this
My future is so clear
Cause everything's right here
Inside of me
Inside of me

Katy Perry - Firework

Great lyrics and Amazing video! Don't let your insecurities or doubts overshadow your light.

My favorite lyrics are:
Maybe the reason why all the doors are closed
So you can open one that leads you to the perfect road



Katy Perry - Firework

Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind
Wanting to start again

Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards
One blow from caving in

Do you ever feel already buried deep
Six feet under scream
But no one seems to hear a thing

Do you know that there's still a chance for you
Cause there's a spark in you

You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gunna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own

You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow

Maybe the reason why all the doors are closed
So you can open one that leads you to the perfect road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know

You just gotta ignite the light
And let it shine
Just own the night
Like the Fourth of July

Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em fallin' down-own-own

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through

Cause baby you're a firework
Come on show 'em what your worth
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
As you shoot across the sky-y-y

Baby you're a firework
Come on let your colors burst
Make 'em go "Oh, oh, oh!"
You're gonna leave 'em goin "Oh, oh, oh!"

Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon

September - Satellites

A song about overcoming fear. Fear has a tendency to paralyze you. Even though yesterday was tough, today is a new day. Don't let fear hold you back.



September - Satellites

Even an angel can end up falling
Don't you cry, because you're crawling
Start again, it's a beautiful morning
For satellites

Well, they said it was time for changing
Rise and shine
Everybody's making it, but you
And they told you to trust your dreaming
But it's hard to believe a feeling
That you just don't know

Even an angel can end up falling
Don't you cry, because you're crawling
Start again, it's a beautiful morning
For satellites
Even an angel can end up falling
Don't you cry, because you're crawling
Start again, it's a beautiful morning
For satellites

You've been trying to walk on water
In the end everybody
Walked all over you
Now, you don't like the sight of mirrors
Cause you're scared that the face
You'll see, will look just like before

Even an angel can end up falling
Don't you cry, because you're crawling
Start again, it's a beautiful morning
For satellites
Even an angel can end up falling
Don't you cry, because you're crawling
Start again, it's a beautiful morning
For satellites

All I want is you
Let me take you back
Where you once belonged
All I want is you
It will be alright if you come along
You were never gone

Even an angel can end up falling
Don't you cry, because you're crawling
Start again, it's a beautiful morning
For satellites
Even an angel can end up falling
Don't you cry, because you're crawling
Start again, it's a beautiful morning
For satellites

Even an angel can end up falling
Don't you cry, because you're crawling
Start again, it's a beautiful morning
For satellites
Satellites

April (Villanueva) - Beat Goes On and On

Song about letting go of a bad relationship.



april (villanueva) - beat goes on and on

you know that you dont need him no
you're better off alone
so go and live your life
instead of waiting by the phone

your boyfriend is history
you should think about yourself
and you can rest, assured

jae e make the beat go on
and the beat goes on
and the beat goes on
and the beat goes on
and the beat goes on
and the beat goes on
and the beat goes on
and the beat goes on

so what, he promised you the world
you know he wasn't bout a thang
when you met him girl
he never gave you diamond rings and things
he didn't give you pearls
he didn't love you girl, no no no

so what, you gave him all your heart
you still got your self respect
keep your mind in tact. he was wack

you are my very best friend
and my big sister you will love again

and the beat goes on and on and on and on
sometimes things might go wrong
and the beat goes on and on and on and on
it seems much too long

still, and the beat goes on and on and on and on
you know you have to be strong
and the beat goes on and on and on and on

and on and on and on

so what, he didn't kick you down
you should of had your own cash
boyfriend was a clown
you need to get back in your books
you need to educate yourself
make that sacrifice for yourself

someday we'll look back on this time
and we will have a good laugh
so won't you dry your eyes, i'm by your side
you know i'm down till the end
and my big sister you will love again

and the beat goes on and on and on and on
you know the beat goes on and on
and the beat goes on and on and on and on
the world keeps spinning round

still, and the beat goes on and on and on and on
you got to roll with the punches everyday
and the beat goes on and on and on and on
and on and on and on and on

You know that you dont need him, no
you're better off alone
so go and live your life
instead of waiting by the phone

your boyfriend is history
you should think about yourself
and you can rest, assured
there will be someone else

feel good sister
it's on and on and on and on
feel good sister girl
believe in yourself
and the beat goes on and on and on and on
the sun will come out tomorrow

still, and the beat goes on and on and on and on
and the beat goes on and on and on and on

You know that you dont need him, no
you're better off alone
so go and live your life
instead of waiting by the phone

your boyfriend is history
you should think about yourself
and you can rest, assured
there will be someone else

and the beat goes on and on and on and on
and the beat goes on and on and on and on
still, and the beat goes on and on and on and on
and the beat goes on and on and on and on

Flyleaf - Tiny Heart

They made a comment about God giving you each breath and I couldn't help but hear this song in my head.

"Tiny heart
You're not by yourself
When will you recognize the beat
...Of my own heart
Making your blood flow
So that your chest can rise and fall"

In the absence of spirituality there is the feeling of death and void. One becomes self-centered and isolated when they disconnect from the universe around them.



Flyleaf - Tiny Heart

Tiny heart
Stuck inside yourself
When will you open up for me
I love you so
And want to meet you again
Before one of us must go

Your lips touched every hand but mine
In their shadows you slept fine
When will you get back to me
So we can rest

Tiny heart
You're not by yourself
When will you recognize the beat
Of my own heart
Making your blood flow
So that your chest can rise and fall

Your lips touched every hand but mine
In their shadows you slept fine
When will you get back to me
So we can rest

You will never know
What you have done to me
You will never know
Losing love from me
You will never know
A single day alone

Tiny heart
Stuck inside yourself
When will you open up

Your lips touched every hand but mine
In their shadows you slept fine
When will you get back to me
So we can rest

When you choose me
I'm waiting for you
Always waiting

Ayaka - I Believe (English Version)

A great English song about overcoming doubt from a Japanese singer. Her accent isn't perfect, but her vocals make up for it.



Ayaka - I Believe (English Version)

I Believe (English Version) Lyrics

Hidden where no one else can see
A whirlpool in my heart of my anxiety
So many roads to follow
Not really sure which one I should take
Anyway, I'm being me
For so long, I let others take me the way
Say goodbye to that part of yesterday

I believe myself
'Cause I know it's what I need
Everything begins when I believe within myself
Oh, I believe in me
The moment shining light I see
To the day we think I know that is where I'm gonna go
I believe

In front of me with my eyes
With eternal loving skies
I wanna know this feeling
oh beauty my love

I believe myself
'Cause I know it's what I need
Everything begins when I believe within myself
Oh, I believe in me
The moment shining like a sea
To the day we think I know that is where I'm gonna go
I believe

Ferry Corsten - Beautiful

The lyrics make a great mantra. This song always gets me in a good mood!



Ferry Corsten - Beautiful

Everything is beautiful
Let the music carry you
Maybe I will follow you (forever)

Nowhere else I'd rather be
When you're lying next to me
Let the me music carry us together (together)

Deborah Cox - Beautiful U R

Great lyrics

Don’t never let nobody bring you down girl
Don’t never let nobody tear your world apart
Look in the mirror and see who you are
Beautiful U R



"Beautiful U R" by Deborah Cox

It’s your life
Thing may not always go right, for you
In those times
Just leave it behind
Cause sometimes you gotta play the game
Just to survive
Without losing yourself
It’s a fight, it’s true
It takes time
Don’t have all the answers
No matter how hard it gets
Hold on to what’s inside

[CHORUS]
Don’t never let nobody bring you down girl
Don’t never let nobody tear your world apart
Look in the mirror and see who you are
Beautiful U R

In the dark
The paint chips have waited your heart
So deep
Can’t you see
See the light in the distance
Open up your eyes, look, look to the sky
And believe
There’s much more to life when you free
That’s the key
And in time
You will find all the answers
Don’t have to loose your pride
Hold on to what’s inside

[CHORUS]
Don’t never let nobody bring you down girl
Don’t never let nobody tear your world apart
Look in the mirror and see who you are
Beautiful U R
Don’t never let nobody bring you down girl
Don’t never let nobody tear your world apart
Look in the mirror and see who you are
Beautiful U R

Don’t care what they say anymore
There’s no time to be insecure
I leave it all at the door

She staring at him in the face
She’s taking it day by day
I’m finally on my way

[CHORUS]
Don’t never let nobody bring you down girl
Don’t never let nobody tear your world apart
Look in the mirror and see who you are
Beautiful U R
Don’t never let nobody bring you down girl
Don’t never let nobody tear your world apart
Look in the mirror and see who you are
Beautiful U R
Beautiful U R
Beautiful U R
Beautiful U R

Lemar ft Justine - Time to Grow (J'ai plus de mots)

Beautiful French/English song.

When someone realizes it's time to let go of the past and move on towards new memories.



Lemar ft Justine - Time to Grow (J'ai plus de mots)

Last night I tried but I couldn't sleep
Un mauvais jour qui se lève
I was lonely and I needed you next to me
Quand la vie n'a plus de rêves
I never meant to do you wrong
Et c'est la fin qui resonne
I hope you won't be gone too long No

Where do I go
J'ai plus de mots
What do I do
J'ai plus le gout
I can't deny I still feel something
And girl, I wish
Et je sais que tu le sais
You've broken the bond
Meme si je t'aime
I gotta move on
Même si je saigne
But how do I end this lonely feeling?
You've gone, je pars,
I'm here, ailleurs, alone
I guess it's time to grow

Ce qui arrive, notre histoire restera inachevée
Like you never knew I was there
Tu te bats non seulement je préfère m'en aller
Can we make love re-appear?
Tes larmes ne vont plus rien changer
And now all is said and done
Il faudra nous reconstruire et apprendre à aimer

Where do I go
J'ai plus de mots
What do I do
J'ai plus le gout
I can't deny I still feel something
De reste jusqu'au bout
And girl, I wish
Et je sais que tu le sais
You've broken the bond
si je tais
I gotta move on
si je sais
But how do I end this lonely feeling?
You've gone, Je pars, I'm here, ailleur, alone
I guess it's time to grow

Crying time is over
Gardons de nous le meilleur
feelings If she won't return, then I guess I'll be a man and move on

Time to grow , And move on
Make life better than it was before
and move on
Make love better than I did before
(ne me retiens pas je pars)
Time to grow, And move on
Make life better than it was before
(je t’aime bien plus que tu crois)

Though you've gone , Je pars, alone
I guess it's time to grow

Breaking Benjamin - I Will Not Bow

I just love the chorus to this song!



Breaking Benjamin - I Will Not Bow

Fall

Now the dark begins to rise
Save your breath its far from over
Leave the lost and dead behind
Nows your chance to run for cover
I don't want to change the world
I just want to leave it colder
Light the fuse and burn it up
Take the path that leads to nowhere

All is lost again
But I'm not giving in

I will not bow
I will not break
I will shut the world away
I will not fall
I will not fade
I will take your breath away

Fall

Watch the end from dying eyes
Now the dark is taking over
Show me where forever died
Take the fall and run to heaven

All is lost again
But I'm not giving in

I will not bow
I will not break
I will shut the world away
I will not fall
I will not fade
I will take your breath away

And I'll survive paranoid
I have lost the will to change
And I am not proud
Cold blooded fate
I will shut the world away

I will not bow
I will not break
I will shut the world away
I will not fall
I will not fade
I will take your breath away

And I'll survive paranoid
I have lost the will to change
And I am not proud
Cold blooded fate
I will shut the world away

Jasmine - Bad Girl

Be proud of who you are no matter what others may say.



Jasmine - Bad Girl (translation [the original lyrics])

The clock’s hand strikes midnight, it never stops ringing
Surely, surely it never stops
You’re not bad, but I’ll throw you into a wall
Surely this won’t changed anything, yeah

Trying to find excuses only bruised my heart
I don’t know, I don’t know. I trampled my confusion

I can’t be myself. Running around feeling impatient, irritated
I can’t hide my wounded, shouting voice

*Even though they call me bad girl. I reply ‘so what?’
Even though they call me bad girl. If so, I’ll puff out my chest
This is my lifestyle and no one else’s
I’ll see it through

How can they feel? How can they see?
My own hands, my own eyes
How can I love them? I would never know how to love myself
My own voice, my own name

I get it, I get it. Someone’s words, softly
I get it, I get it. “You can find yourself in your mirror”

Hey, how should I live, protect and fight?
I want to notice you, you can’t hide

*repeat

I wanna be myself and find the light inside myself
I wanna be myself and proof why I am here
If I were born again, if I were born again
I wanna be me, I wanna be me, I wanna be me, once again

*repeat (x2)

Even though they call me bad girl (x3)
